Chapter 158: Danger Sweeps In
"Are your injuries healed?" Zhao Ling sighed and asked, the two of them sat on the roof, the silver moonlight sprinkled on their bodies, his gaze was more gentle than the moonlight, mixed with distress and worry.
"It's been around for a long time!" Jiang Xiaoyu hugged his knees and said, "It's already scarred, and it doesn't hurt at all!" ”
Zhao Ling has always doted on Jiang Xiaoyu and did not force her to do anything, but now he was arrogant and domineering in his arms, and he unspeakably took half of her clothes off, exposing her emaciated shoulders.
She didn't lie, her current physique is already recovering faster than ordinary people, and the injury has indeed begun to scab over a long time ago, but there is an ugly scar on her shoulder, which is indeed a little embarrassing for girls.
Jiang Xiaoyu pretended not to mind his scars, and asked generously: "Look clearly, it's really good!" ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Ling let out a low spill from his throat, he leaned over and kissed her scar, and asked softly, "Does it really hurt?" ”
"It doesn't hurt at all, really!" In order to prove his words, Jiang Xiaoyu pressed on the scar, "Look! ”
Zhao Ling grabbed her hand and put it in the position of his heart, then took Jiang Xiaoyu in his arms and gently dressed her, and said in her ear: "Xiaoyu, you are a girl!" ”
"Huh?" Jiang Xiaoyu was puzzled, did you always think you were a man?
"You're supposed to be someone's baby in the palm of your hand!" Zhao Ling said in a deep voice, "Always take care of it, keep the baby!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was soft, afraid that Zhao Ling would blame himself for not protecting himself, so he patted him on the back and said, "I know, I'm your baby!" If you say such a numb word, it's enough to say it once, and goosebumps are coming out! ”
"You!" Zhao Ling lightly nodded Jiang Xiaoyu's nose, "Silly girl! My silly girl! ”
Since Jiang Xiaoyu regarded Zhao Ling as the person he spent the rest of his life with, he naturally wouldn't hide anything from him, so he told him all about the Red Cloth Sect.
"I still don't know if it's right or wrong to let Xia Housheng go!" Jiang Xiaoyu said, "But at a certain moment, I really have a very strong premonition, I think what he said is true, I will need him one day!" I didn't tell my second brother about this matter, because I was afraid that this matter would affect him! ”
Second brother? Zhao Ling glanced at Jiang Xiaoyu without a trace.
"It's not wrong to hide it from him!" He thought for a moment and said, "No one knows the true identity of the Cardinal Master, even if it is known that he is still alive in the future, how can we prove that he is the Cardinal Master, or how can we prove that the Cardinal Master we know did not die under the explosion?" Even if someone wants to make a fuss, this matter is not a bully! ”
"You've said it's all done!" Jiang Xiaoyu smiled, "Then there is Bai Shan's guess that the eldest grandson's family is the murderer who framed his grandfather, after this matter is over, I will start the investigation from this aspect, I am just worried, if the eldest grandson's family knows that I am investigating, will it fall to the third prince, will it be very unfavorable to you in the future?" ”
"Although the imperial grandmother did not express her support for the second and third children, she secretly had a lot of dealings with the third child, and if she investigated openly, she might lead this undercurrent to the surface!" Zhao Ling said.
"The eldest grandson Jiaming said on his face, I don't know how many wavering officials will fall to the third prince!" Jiang Xiaoyu sighed slightly, "My idea is that the second prince should not be involved, I will bear all the risks and consequences myself, this itself is also what I should do, and it is just my business!" ”
"You don't have to think too much, everything is heavy, there are ways to deal with it, and before you start the investigation of the eldest grandson's family, you can always find out the corresponding countermeasures!" Zhao Ling said.
"Is everything going well with you in Qiandong?" Jiang Xiaoyu asked again, "Yang Xing has always reported good news and not bad news, as for Yan Yan, he can't count on it, you haven't encountered any trouble, right?" ”
"Who am I?" Zhao Ling smiled confidently, "It's just some trivial things, can you stump me?" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu knew that the danger of his trip would not be less than his own, since he was unwilling to say it to worry him, she would not continue to ask, things in this world are like this, not all concealment is a bad thing, and there is also hidden tenderness and affection that no one knows.
And Zhao Ling stayed in the state pastor mansion overnight and left, still leaving Yang Xing behind to protect Jiang Xiaoyu's safety, he did things resolutely, and after the rounds with the few subordinates he brought, he immediately took corresponding actions, according to the information that Jiang Xiaoyu had collected before, he screened the officials in the northwest, and those who should be pacified should be appeased, those who should be punished should be punished, and the nature of the killing will not be let go, without affecting the overall operation of things in the northwest, all hidden danger factors will be removed.
Jiang Xiaoyu had heard of Zhao Ling's thunderous methods when he was in Qiandong, and it was precisely because of this that the disaster in Qiandong could be controlled as quickly as possible, and the punishment of corrupt officials also allowed the people to solve the civil rebellion at the smallest cost, although many officials in the imperial court complained a lot about his iron-blooded ruthlessness, but fortunately, Emperor Zhou's unwavering support was carried out, and here it must be another style of doing things, but his ability will be more prominent.
With the arrival of Zhao Ling, it was only seven or eight days of hard work, and the rear of the entire northwest was completely stabilized, and the next specific transfer arrangements were a matter for the imperial court.
During this period, Inuvelvet launched a huge attack, and the border pass was completely under the command of Zhao Yan, and the other party naturally suffered a huge setback.
It's just that not everything is smooth sailing, Zhao Yan conspired with the deputy general to make a sneak attack on dog velvet, but the deputy general suddenly died, resulting in a complete collapse of the plan, so that Zhao Yan was in a heavy siege, thanks to the courage of the soldiers, and it took a whole night of bloody fighting to get out of the encirclement, but Zhao Yan himself was seriously injured and almost died in Huangquan.
It was a sudden death, and although the military doctor could not find any cause for the death, almost everyone felt that there was something unusual about the death of two generals in such an unusual way.
There is a strong enemy outside, but there is a dangerous force hidden in the barracks, and an uneasiness spreads in the barracks again, no one knows who the devil is hidden in the depths and can easily kill the two generals, and I don't know if the next one will be himself, especially those officers, a factor of doubt spreads, and for soldiers, it is taboo not to be able to trust the brothers around them.
Zhao Yan asked people to hang up the battle exemption card, no matter how the other party called the battle, they were not allowed to fight, everything had to be clarified about the cause of death of the two generals!
Jiang Xiaoyu was worried about Zhao Yan's safety, and also wanted to know the cause of death of the two generals who died suddenly, so she had to go to the barracks in person, and with her understanding of Zhao Ling, she was afraid that she had already gone to the border at this moment.
Since Wu Qian was more proficient in medical skills than his own, Jiang Xiaoyu asked his senior brother to accompany him, and let Yang Xing stay to continue to monitor Du Tong's every move, and more importantly, to isolate the disturbance of the people of the three princes.
Zhao Ling had already arrived, and expected that Jiang Xiaoyu would also come, so he arranged people at the gate of the camp to lead Jiang Xiaoyu and his party in.
Jiang Xiaoyu went directly to Zhao Yan's camp to visit, he was changing the dressing, his face looked very pale because of excessive blood loss, but his eyes were still as resolute as ever, and his beard had grown an inch, and he looked a little more vicissitudes.
The wound was wrapped in white gauze, I don't know how serious it is, Zhao Yan seemed to be nothing, and smiled slightly at Jiang Xiaoyu: "You're here!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu's heart was slightly tingling, and some bitter taste surged in his mouth, as early as the last time the ship was sunk, his body was seriously injured, and his vitality had not recovered, and he was seriously injured this time, how to bear it!
She smiled at Zhao Yan, walked to Zhao Ling's side, pulled his sleeve and asked, "What's the situation now?" ”
"I'm afraid the second child has been out of bed for a few days!" Zhao Ling shook Jiang Xiaoyu's hand, "Moreover, the atmosphere in the barracks is not good now, if you don't find out who assassinated the two generals, it will have a great impact on morale!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu walked to Zhao Yan's side and said: "You can recuperate with peace of mind, we are responsible for finding out the murderer hidden in the barracks, don't worry about this matter, after you recover from your injuries, you will drive out the dog down in one fell swoop!" ”
"Good! With you and the son here, I naturally have nothing to worry about! Zhao Yan said in a dark voice, "This matter will be handed over to you!" ”
"Since the identity of the other party is unknown, you two must be careful of your own safety!" Zhao Yan paused and then said, "I also heard from the prince what you did in Qizhou, thank you for your hard work!" ”
Jiang Xiaoyu and Zhao Ling walked out of Zhao Yan's tent, and she exhaled deeply: "Even if it is an iron body, it can't stand the injuries one after another!" This time and again, my vitality is greatly damaged, and I am afraid that I will leave big trouble in the future! ”
Zhao Ling glanced at her and comforted: "Injury or death is something that every soldier must face, the army is an old military doctor, experienced, and will definitely be able to regulate the second child's body!" You weren't how dangerous the situation he was facing at that time, I can feel a burst of fear now, the second child was able to pick up a life this time, it's a great luck! ”
"The other party is really vicious! Now in the face of foreign invasion, how can you self-destruct the Great Wall? Although I don't want to be a good person, I still have a clear distinction between the righteousness of my family and country, is the desire for power more important in their eyes than the integrity of my family and country? Is it more important than the lives of hundreds of people? Jiang Xiaoyu bit his lip and said, "A prince who does not regard the country as the country and the people of the Kuomintang, if he really sits on the throne in the future, it will be a catastrophe and disaster for the Great Zhou!" ”
Zhao Ling's eyes narrowed slightly: "Although the third child acts obediently and does not compromise means, but such a thing with no bottom line is not something he can do, all in all, now we have to dig out that killer, otherwise everything is just empty talk!" ”
"Okay, without further ado, let's take me and my senior brother to see the corpses of those two generals first!"
